I mean they could choose to sandbag given $300k is sounding more expendable than an extra $100k

[solar trout]

Play pharah gg

[sullen berry]

Where was the bear fight

[solar trout]

I am a fuel fan, and seagull has been like the best dva in the league, but still predictable

The comments below this were some level of toxic I've never seen before from Spitfire fans

[vestal berry]

NOOOOOOO

0-40

My babies

[sullen berry]

😔

21 map wins, basically 7-series in a row

[vestal berry]

Tied with a couple other teams for least draws as well

[sullen berry]

Fragmented from some of their best hybrid and assault map plays in their entire season

[vestal berry]

WHAT SICK WORLD IS THIS?

[torpid charm]

[warped axle]

Gladiators number 1 seed

Dallas Fuel in playoffs

[torpid charm]

bet no one would've expected this in the beginning

[sullen berry]

comments from the past watching this

wow, iremix and asher must be really popping off

[empty onyx]

I feel like Dallas is going to be good next season

[half breach]

^ same

houston imo got lucky on that one game

[sullen berry]

all four teams in stage playoffs I would recommend watching their different journeys to get here

[empty onyx]

Ye

[sullen berry]

even if Fuel is like the saddest timeline

[empty onyx]

I’m on vacation

[sullen berry]

they had a great run during stage 2

just not a very fulfilling season

[empty onyx]

Ye

[north falcon]

0-40 OmegaLul

And yeah I would recommend watching all the stage playoff teams and Boston Uprising

[hidden vault]

that's so bad

too bad shanghai should have went nepotism from the start

[onyx shore]

so,why glads choose valiant as their playoff opponent?

[hidden vault]

So that dallas can fave nyxl off

[onyx shore]

wouldnt it be easier for glads if they pick fuel,they've been great this stage,but still the weakest from those 3 teams

[supple prism]

glad wants revenge?

[sullen berry]

That would be falling into a trap that's called predictability @onyx shore

Taimou himself implied they were ready for the call out as the weaker of the the three, so who knows what might have gone down for Gladiators if they were just going to eat into Aero's plan

[cedar drum]

How many viewers do u guys think the stage playoffs tomorrow are gonna attract? 150K min?

Jun 17th 20:00 EDT (in 16 hours)

Developed with LOVE by MoonFire · Jun 17, 2018, 7:39 AM

[upper niche]

I just want them to clarify the rules regarding who acquires what seeds after the semis.

like, if you have 3v6 and 6 wins, does 6 remain seeded 6, or do they acquire the 3rd seed. Different tournaments/organisations do it different ways.

Because that could who plays who in the semis.

[silk linden]

"The 6 qualifying teams will be assigned seeds based on their Regular Season records. In the Quarterfinals, the 6th seed will play the 3rd seed, while the 5th seed will play the 4th seed. In the Semifinals, the lowest-seeded Quarterfinals winner will face the 1st seed, and the highest-seeded Quarterfinals winner will face the 2nd seed. The winners of those matches will face off in the Grand Finals, with $1,000,000 on the line"

I don't see anything about seeds changing after the quarter finals

Why would they

[upper niche]

Because it's an unusual way to run a finals bracket.

Most of the time you just do 1v(3v6)v(5v4)v2

But what OWL are doing, going on the wording above, is 3v6 and 5v4, and if 6 beat 3, because they are the lowest seed they play 1. But if 3 win, the winner of 5v4 play 1.

[silk linden]

Yes

I agree with it

If you're seed 6, you're seed 6

[upper niche]

It's a bizarre way to run a tournament.

Yes - but when you beat X, you acquire that rank, because you're seen to be better than X.

[silk linden]

You don't get to avoid seed 1 as soon as you beat seed 3

[upper niche]

so normal tournament practice is that the higher seed on entry gets the easiest route to the finals.

[silk linden]

No you don't acquire that rank

League games set your rank

Just one game won shouldn't make your rank change

[upper niche]

You should go tell every major sporting league in the world then 😃

I've never seen an organisation run it this way before.

[silk linden]

You've played 40 games that showed you were rank 6, you shouldn't suddenly bump to rank 3 just because you win a single game

[upper niche]

I understand the rationale of why they're doing it - but it makes it hard to follow for spectators.

[silk linden]

How

[upper niche]

yeah, but that was the season. This is a fresh start.

[silk linden]

It's explained

No it's not a fresh start

[upper niche]

Because you can't draw it on a piece of paper as a bracket and say "The winner of this will go here".

[silk linden]

You don't wipe out an entire season worth of games

[upper niche]

Can you name another league in the world that runs it this way? Particularly outside the US?

Because I suspect this might be an American thing, kinda like having a Pac/Atl division.

[silk linden]

I don't know and I don't care

I like how this league is

[upper niche]

And I think it's gonna confuse the fuck out of spectators 😃

[silk linden]

All the leagues I follow don't have playoffs anyway

It's not confusing, it's just 6 teams

It's hardly rocket science

[upper niche]

If you don't see how it might confuse people who don't have it explained in detail, I don't think you understand it.

[silk linden]

I don't see how it might confuse people because it's not confusing. I have a little faith in people not being totally stupid

Again, it's hardly rocket science

[ornate flume]

Thought the league starts at 2PM Central but I waited a lot after 2 today

[upper niche]

people are used to leagues that are based on say, ((1v8)v(4v5))v((3v6)v(2v7)) - you can quickly look at them and say "okay, so X needs to beat Y and Z to go in to the finals.

[silk linden]

I read the thing on the Overwatch league website and understood it perfectly

It's not hard to grasp at all

[upper niche]

Yeah - but you and I are probably aren't normal people 😉

[silk linden]

You're saying people might go in with assumptions, which is fine, but again, once you explain them how things actually work, they'll understand

[upper niche]

Is there a page that explains the actual matches/games taht will be plkayed for the finals, BTW?

The calendar has 3 nights of 2 matches... But if it's best of 3, Night 3 won't be needed for one or two games.

nm, it does say that at the bottom...

so yeah, we might end up with no matches on the final night.

[silk linden]

"Each Series is a best of 3 matches (each match is a best of 5 maps). The first team to win 2 matches wins the series"

I think they said map selection will be random, I need to look it up

[upper niche]

If we're lucky maybe we can convince them to throw in an Exhibition match of Mystery Heroes between two random teams on the last day 😄

that'd be fun as hell to watch.

[silk linden]

They already have the all Star day for that stuff I think

I mean, I assume they're gonna do some memeing with that and not just plain ATL v PAC Overwatch

Give us the widow only FFA Deathmatch

[upper niche]

All-Star game is on August 25

haha

Pine v Libero v .... hell, Jonak can just play Zenyatta.

[silk linden]

No I want 1 widow from each team

[sullen berry]

zzz

[ornate flume]

i'm dumb

Thought EDT was PST

for some reason

🤦

[sullen berry]

@upper niche I wouldn't even be surprised if most people select NYXL only to guarantee reliable comms

[upper niche]

@ornate flume Time zones are hard.

[silk linden]

Pine, Soon, Surefour, Taimou, Birdring, Carpe, Linkzr, Fleta, BabyBay, SayaPlayer, Diya, Striker. Actually that's 12 people. Idk who to leave out though

[ornate flume]

Usually the times is in PST

[sullen berry]

Time zones? Never heard of them it's a struggle, mate

[ornate flume]

JJonak for Widow

[sullen berry]

when you can't do countdown

just recall the times and learn to immediately convert it to your local time

[upper niche]

@ornate flume Americans and time zones is weird as. Like, I bought tickets to a Hockey Match which even on the tickets they had printed the time on the East Coast, even though the match was in Anaheim. It's insane.

[sullen berry]

always had to, won't need to ask it to be GMT ever

😟

SBB on D.Va

[upper niche]

I was in Anaheim last year what, a week after daylight savings? That made planning a bit confusing 😄

[silk linden]

I don't like how time zones have acronyms rather than like, numbers to identify them. Just tell me how further away from London time you are, that way I can do the math

[upper niche]

@silk linden Because daylight savings :/

[silk linden]

Ok, just tell me that too then

It's just a +1

[upper niche]

yeah, but then you need to know when it starts and ends

so like, there's about a six week difference between when we change and LA changes, but I think it's 3 weeks for UK?

[ornate flume]

Is USA the only one using Daylight saving?

[silk linden]

No

[upper niche]

nah, it's used throughout most of teh world.

[silk linden]

Most countries do

[ornate flume]

o

Welp

[silk linden]

But they do in different ways

At different times

[ornate flume]

dam

I was gonna say like

Where does the missing hour go

[upper niche]

Somoa a few years ago actually changed their date line.

so they skipped December 30 2011 altogether.

[ornate flume]

Like, if east coast changes their time for daylight savings

and the timezone before that doesn't

where does the 1 go in between 2 and 12

xd

[upper niche]

CGPGrey has a fantasic video on US timezones and DST.

it shows the ridicuousness of counties within states and precincts each which do and dont observe DST so you can change times zones like 11 times by driving in a straight line, or something like that.

[ornate flume]

Arizona

[upper niche]

https://youtu.be/84aWtseb2-4?t=306

[sullen berry]

@silk linden I blame static broadcasting expectations

if esports is truly the future of scheduled entertainment

[upper niche]

You've never come to truly hate working with broadcast until you've been made to cancel the results of an event because of broadcast schedules.

[sullen berry]

well can we have a method of assigning a universal time code every country needs to learn that effectively counts down based on GMT

[upper niche]

UTC, not GMT.

GMT and UTC are not the same thing.

https://www.timeanddate.com/time/gmt-utc-time.html

[sullen berry]

I thought UTC stood for Universal Time Code?

and it's true that not all places determine time zones in the rest of the world through Greenwich

bringing it back to the esports part of the discussion

would it even be possible to use some time tracking technology that never uses a time zone

and works a lot better by some dynamic countown timer

[upper niche]

What do you mean? We do when we write software.

Most commonly we based it on the epoch of Jan 1 1970 UTC

[sullen berry]

🤔

[upper niche]

If you need to know the time, you convert from that.

We'll run in to trouble when we get to 2037 though, so we've started using time64_t.

[sullen berry]

so that explains the bug from old iOS software

[upper niche]

Oh, iOS timezones are broken, this I can tell you for sure.

Part of my full time job is responsible for an app that's on iOS, Android and brower - iOS doesn't adhere to ISO8601.

[tawny sigil]

is there a watch point review this monday?

[sullen berry]

yeah, there will be one

[rare sonnet]

I hope Hanzo gets nerfed before OWL finals

[silk linden]

I don't think new hanzo will make it to owl

[raven badger]

i think they'll just keep the same patch

for finals

[balmy wolf]

Did I see Mei + Bastion play in OWL

[balmy wolf]

The old gold strats LUL

also rip https://i.redd.it/b0migzlewg411.png

I forgot about those first two guys

I guess the league did too

[balmy wolf]

Heey who play zula

Zula is first turkey made mmofps game come on play zula

[tawny sigil]

Arda is the proud owner of a game nobody wants to play, come on ban Arda.

[polar pier]

ew destiny clone

[idle beacon]

glads have chosen valiant as opponent?

[tawny sigil]

when you think about it, its a smart choices

Valiant and NYXL both garanteed to be in, So you practice against Valiant and NYXL and choose Valiant so the other random team gets removed by NYXL

that way it didn't matter who was in, They said as a joke they would have picked philly

but im convinced Valiant was their choise no matter what

[rocky anchor]

Woot

I’ll be there for that today

I think we can say the Battle for LA has been the most consistently entertaining matchup in OWL

[hidden osprey]

big shatter, big

why did Bischu swap to Torb for a second? xD

[rocky anchor]

they swap to mess with the other team

[hidden osprey]

seemed accidental as he swapped straight away

[rocky anchor]

Maybe

[hidden osprey]

I think he wanted to pick Mei

can't remember the hero order but I'm fairly certain Mei is next to Torb

Val vs NYXL IMO

[vestal berry]

gladiators might not be the best, but they are definatly my favorite of the four

[ruby pendant]

so Gladiators going to lose this series?

after all the talk from yesterday!!

[minor flame]

look at that hydration tire

predictable spot and path

pro quality tires

hydration mightve actually cost the round

[atomic crater]

no everyone can be as good has J LUL K E

SPACE is doing insane

[minor flame]

not even 4 20

sloppy

[north falcon]

Now that's the soon I'm scared of

He didn't show up against fuel

[minor flame]

hydration tire actually cost them the round

that tire was the one of thew orst

[ruby pendant]

Gladiators should have faced fuel

[north falcon]

Bet the gladiators are sad they didn't pick fuel now lmao

[idle beacon]

score?

[minor flame]

1-0

most likely 2-0 by the end of this

val - lag

[ruby pendant]

lol soon

[north falcon]

BIG TIRE

[tawny sigil]

they just can't do anything

[hidden osprey]

looks like my prediction might have been completely wrong...

[vestal berry]

the goose is loose

[minor flame]

i dont get this

no s4 widow

nothing to oppose the one killing your healer

[north falcon]

Soon is a monster

[ruby pendant]

probably last 30 sec glads will push point

[vestal berry]

they arent trying to stop soon

[hidden osprey]

I'm guessing this is what they've practiced

[minor flame]

s4 what

[hidden osprey]

wtf Glads

they look so disorganised

[visual glen]

This is kinda not as hype as expected

[warped axle]

this match sucks

[visual glen]

[rare sonnet]

tbh with this match it doesn't matter that the glads picked valiant

[minor flame]

this is more disappointing than boston vs nyxl playoffs

[hidden osprey]

yeah, I'm a little disappointed

[warped axle]

not evem fanboying

[rare sonnet]

they would have lost in the finals anyway

[warped axle]

this is bad overwatch

[hidden osprey]

looking a bit better now

[ruby pendant]

last 30 secs, like I said

[tawny sigil]

you can do better son.

[north falcon]

That's a lot of damage

[minor flame]

guess they all depended on their ults

instead of pushing with raw mechanics

[visual glen]

Fuck riptire tbh

[warped axle]

Surefour NEEDS to get off Zarya

Where's Void

[idle beacon]

so glads losing?

[minor flame]

nice

glads fucking lets them rez

[idle beacon]

why didnt they pick fuel or nyxl ffs

[warped axle]

Ok

That was good

[minor flame]

it was a decent push

looked shit at first

but they redeemed themselves at the end

[tawny sigil]

winnable

[vestal berry]

fissure is kinda just carrying

[ruby pendant]

feels good

[serene tendon]

custa's rez's are nutty

[minor flame]

took them a while to get to the tri tank and supp

[ruby pendant]

glads reverse sweep

[sullen berry]

this is how you set up the reverse sweep

giving valiant the map

[warped axle]

Hydration needs to wake up

[ruby pendant]

tell us!!

[sullen berry]

I'm predicting gladiator's small window of victory is exactly what they want valiant to be fooled by

[minor flame]

nice one s4

[sullen berry]

nothing like overconfidence to work against them

calling it now

[warped axle]

Surefour playing like crap

[minor flame]

lmaoooo

[ruby pendant]

lol, reverse sweep the worst way to lose

[sullen berry]

hydration looks a little restless

[minor flame]

got a free tick

what

[warped axle]

Uhhhh

[minor flame]

why did they just let them

[warped axle]

Val?

[sullen berry]

whole day to prepare

[ruby pendant]

nice

[minor flame]

actual throwing

[warped axle]

OOH

[ruby pendant]

Custa is domino effect

[hidden osprey]

I don't think I'd be able to sleep well knowing the weight I have on my shoulders

[tawny sigil]

that was confusing to watch

[warped axle]

Valiant wtf

[hidden osprey]

ooof, that was a huge bomb

[minor flame]

val gave them way too much space

let htem get 2 free ticks

[warped axle]

You just lost a 6v4

[minor flame]

and got fucking rolled

like wtf

[ruby pendant]

Surefour!!

[tawny sigil]

valiant had no idea wtf they were doing... so did gladiator

[minor flame]

WHY IS S4 ON REAPER

[warped axle]

Valiant tilt?

[minor flame]

ITS LIKE 2 SHIT TEAMS

AGAINST EACH OTHER

[hidden osprey]

yeah, this isn't hype overwatch

[serene tendon]

HOW DID CUSTA SURVIVE

THE MADMAN

[minor flame]

LMAOOO FATE

[ruby pendant]

Valiant fans freaking out

[warped axle]

[ruby pendant]

LOOOL

Fissure blocked Fates Shatter

[minor flame]

i only saw through the floor

[rocky anchor]

That was intense

[minor flame]

[warped axle]

Valiant need to stabilize to keep this close

[minor flame]

Valiant fans are here

[minor flame]

big fuckin bischu bombs

[vestal berry]

SUREFOUR LUL

[rocky anchor]

[rocky anchor]

This is intense

[ruby pendant]

Surefour be making look too easy

[warped axle]

Custa

[warped axle]

[hidden osprey]

Two teams that look pretty bad rn, why isn't this more hype :(

[brisk roost]

[minor flame]

hydration tire with the potg

[warped axle]

Fissure is great at hunting supports

[ruby pendant]

Did void play in the first game?

[warped axle]

No

[vestal berry]

PAID ADS LUL

[ruby pendant]

k

[sullen berry]

What did I say

[warped axle]

Lol

[ruby pendant]

Void and Fissure synergy is great, would be nice if he's in next round. Bischu is great too of couse.

[sullen berry]

Could be an early reverse sweep before fans get a heart attack at a map 5 encounter

[minor flame]

bischu is really nutty tbh

[sullen berry]

gotta see void pop off today if they sub him in

[rare sonnet]

why does twitch chat get mad when they see an ad

[minor flame]

havent seen much of void to see if he's good enough

what d yo oumean

[rare sonnet]

where do they think money comes from

[minor flame]

twitch is just

NA PRODUCTION

NA ADS

KappaPride

DansGame

[sullen berry]

@rare sonnet that paid joke is ineffective on ads

[warped axle]

It's good that Bischu improved enough that he's not just permabenched

[sullen berry]

And on Plat chat

[warped axle]

And that he and Void can just swap

[rare sonnet]

what joke

[minor flame]

21-3 moira

lolll

[sullen berry]

Silkthreads though

[rare sonnet]

i said no joke

? thonk

[sullen berry]

Keeping him benched or have they decided they can still play mind games to their advantage

[vestal berry]

whats next map?

[sullen berry]

@rare sonnet all twitch spam is are a handful of jokes, PAID EXPLANATION

[warped axle]

Bring out Silkthread on Dorado

[minor flame]

liijang

main tank gets less kd than healers

feelsbad

[vestal berry]

oh shit im blind

its right there

[silk tiger]

lol

[minor flame]

35-4 holy shit bischu

[ruby pendant]

Bischu did great

stats off the charts

[sullen berry]

Time to squeeze in my breakfast

[brisk roost]

Space = Gibraltar
Bischu = Horizon

What's next

[sullen berry]

Instead of Pepsi and crisps in the morning

[minor flame]

Soe Fan Club

[vestal berry]

Loss poster LUL

[ruby pendant]

You think Glads or Val have a chance to beat Excelsior in finals, that's if Excelsior wins.

[minor flame]

hard to tell

Glads and Val are great but NYXL is fucking around at this point

[silk linden]

it's the Sand factor that's hard to account for

imho there will be sand

[minor flame]

its like you dont even know if theyre doing this on purpose

people theorizing if theyre manipulating the standings for the season playoffs

ark saying its a secret for him not playing

[hidden osprey]

ark is a cutie though

[ruby pendant]

@minor flame lol

[silk linden]

I wanna see NYXL come to playoffs with a totally different playstyle and maybe even comp

[minor flame]

jjonak on tracer

[silk linden]

like, JJonak on Reinhardt

[ruby pendant]

would be interesting if Excelsior had a new comp strategy

would be looking forward to that

[minor flame]

they have been experimenting

so ill be having some high expectations

[silk linden]

NYXL gonna be the first team to ever run a 0 tank comp and dominate everyone with tactics from 2068

[minor flame]

5 dps 1 healer

[silk linden]

Soldier/Doomfist/Mei/Brigitte/Lucio/Ana

they will play literally a different game

people will die not knowing how

and try to imitate them unsuccessfully

[vestal berry]

jesus christ twitch chat

[silk linden]

They will only have 5 players get on stage, everyone will be confused, then you'll see jjonak set up two screens, a mouse in each hand, take off his shoes and use two keyboards on the ground with his toes

[minor flame]

spam this car

to guess my sr

[tawny sigil]

turn off twitch chat, cures cancer

[sullen berry]

That is assuming they stop flexing but still exert much less effort than the valiant or gladiators

[minor flame]

custa on lucio

yea ok

you guessed right

void for bischu

[serene tendon]

only one who peeled for kariv was custa

[warped axle]

By far Glads best map

Always impressed by them here

[ruby pendant]

wow missed it

[warped axle]

Hydration's positioning was flawless

[ruby pendant]

Valiant ready to lose!!

[vestal berry]

this matchup is the battle of main tanks

[minor flame]

rip

[vestal berry]

KARIV LAMO

LMAO

[minor flame]

[idle beacon]

[minor flame]

[warped axle]

No

[minor flame]

[ruby pendant]

he made a mistake

[warped axle]

Bo5

[idle beacon]

so as usual

[warped axle]

No

[idle beacon]

if glads wins the next, it's over?

[minor flame]

yes

[warped axle]

Regular season is 4 at least always

Not Bo5

[idle beacon]

fuck intel

amd > intel

how strong are both on kings row ?

[minor flame]

very

[fallen forge]

is the stream now a previous game

[minor flame]

it really depends on how much the tanks pop off

what?

[idle beacon]

fissure always pops off

sometimes a bit too much

[tawny sigil]

you dont pop enough until your burst a blood vessel

[idle beacon]

just wait and see

fuel gonna beat nyxl

and glads stompin fuel

[minor flame]

we already know glads stomp fuel

fuel beating nyxl ehhhh

[idle beacon]

but guys

i KNEW

boston wud be the only team

achieving a 10-0

this season 😃

[minor flame]

and?

[idle beacon]

and?

[tawny sigil]

you didn't know... just just hoped

[idle beacon]

no i knew

i knew nyxl won't make it a 10-0

[tawny sigil]

well you can't know it hadn't happen yet

[idle beacon]

and i knew valiant would lose their 10th

[minor flame]

theres a difference between knowing and hoping

[serene tendon]

valiant pls

[idle beacon]

so people which're gaining shitloads of money .. don't know shit, either eh?

[minor flame]

what?

[idle beacon]

winning money with betting

i forgot to add 'betting' 😄

[minor flame]

what does betting have to do with this lmao

[tawny sigil]

they lose money all the time aswell

you make it sound like 100% of their prediction are correct

[idle beacon]

80%

good betters .. betters which know how teams work

if val win now

it's a 5th map

[minor flame]

yes we know how OWL works

[tawny sigil]

i dont think any professionnal gambler would have gambled on dallas

[idle beacon]

what if both tie on the 5th map?

[minor flame]

you cannot tie on 5th map

unless you basically

never move the payload

[idle beacon]

if both full hold

itll be the same map again?

[minor flame]

theyll both be given 1 min

to move the payload again

if they both full clear

with no time in the bank

[idle beacon]

and if that doesn't happen?

[minor flame]

then one doesnt full hold

[idle beacon]

6th ?

[minor flame]

and one loses

[jagged crater]

what the last map?

[idle beacon]

some escort

[minor flame]

this is basic OW shit dude

[idle beacon]

the game i came from had also map points. i've seen finals takin forever because both teams either took all points or fullheld forever

[ruby pendant]

glads needs to re-group

[idle beacon]

this doenst look good

[minor flame]

[vestal berry]

[serene tendon]

JUSTI-AAAAAAAAAAAH

[idle beacon]

[brisk roost]

@warped axle What do you mean by personality?

[pulsar sentinel]

surefour is a weeb ally

[idle beacon]

[sullen berry]

@idle beacon I loved watching Diablo ii plays, ngl

[waxen rampart]

A good game that I was too young to get to play

[pulsar sentinel]

probably xqc

[waxen rampart]

was it?

[minor flame]

yes

[idle beacon]

omg

dorado

[waxen rampart]

idr

[minor flame]

says he wants to build up crust

[vestal berry]

does glad do well in dorado?

[minor flame]

so he can clean

[waxen rampart]

i thought it was like jake or someone

[pulsar sentinel]

xqc drinks old coke and eats food off his floor

[minor flame]

glads and val have the same winrate on dorado

[idle beacon]

@sullen berry i loved the old wc games

[pulsar sentinel]

Jake probably said people don't shower

[waxen rampart]

[tawny sigil]

GO AGANE!
